The minister reaffirmed the government's stance, asserting that law enforcement agencies had not fired at PTI protesters in Islamabad. "There is not a single video in which law enforcement agencies can be seen directly firing on protesters. They [PTI protesters] have all kinds of videos, but there is no video evidence of [direct firing] as this never happened," he said, as quoted by ARY News.
